Board approves change order, roundabout payment and registers claims totaling about $280,409
Summary
The commission approved change order number 9 for the Colorado tracking project (directional boring to a junction box), authorized a $253,350 roundabout payment, approved requisitions for lease-rental bonds, and accepted the register of claims (total shown in packet: $280,409.46). Staff said the larger projects remain under budget overall.
The Hobart Redevelopment Commission on March 16 approved multiple project payments and financial items, including a construction change order, a roundabout payment, requisitions tied to lease-rental bonds and the register of claims.
Project staff (speaker 3) described change order number 9 for the Colorado tracking project as work to connect electrical service to a junction box after a NIPSCO pole relocation required directional boring. The presenter said the project remains approximately $64,000 under budget and recommended payment of the change order to allow the contractor to continue work. The amount for change order number 9 was stated orally in the meeting but recorded in the packet as an item to be paid; the transcript rendering of the amount was unclear. The board moved and approved the change order.
The board also approved payment application #1 for the roundabout project in the amount of $253,350 after staff reported most major work is complete though minor items remain. The payment motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Staff presented requisitions related to lease-rental bond projects and requested approval of bond requisition numbers 76 and 77; the board approved those requisitions individually. The register of claims presented for consideration listed a total of $280,409.46; the board voted to approve the register of claims by voice vote.
Commissioners noted they lacked a maintenance funding mechanism for future landscaped roundabout elements and asked staff to keep plantings minimal to avoid shifting maintenance to the parks department. No dissenting roll-call votes were recorded in the meeting transcript.
